TERMS OF SALE
These terms of sale are designed to conform to the Amended Rules for Public Auction Sales in New York City
by the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Bylaws of the Professional Numismatists Guild, Inc.
1. This public auction sale is conducted pursuant to these Terms of Sale by licensed and bonded auctioneers, Harvey G.
Stack, #522763 and Norman Stack, #798113.
2. Each bidder, by bidding in the sale, agrees that a 10% BUYER’S CHARGE will be added to the "hammer
price” or winning bid of each lot as determined by the auctioneer. This 10% BUYER’S FEE will be added to the
invoice of each successful bidder over and above the actual sum bid or offered. The Buyer’s Fee applies regardless of a
bidder’s affiliation with any group or organization, and is imposed on all bidders. No lots will be delivered or shown at
the auction. Auction sales are strictly for cash and must be paid for promptly in U.S. funds. STACK’S reminds you
that all bidders personally guarantee prompt payment in full. Checks are permitted with identification acceptable to
STACK’S. On any accounts past due, STACK’S reserves the right to extend credit and impose periodic charges as
stated in these Terms of Sale or on the invoice or statement. Buyer agrees to pay the reasonable attorney fees and
costs required to collect on such past due accounts. All lots delivered in New York State are subject to applicable Sales
Tax. Buyer agrees to pay any sales tax, use tax, and any other applicable taxes that now, or hereafter, are found to be
due by virtue of the sale, and to indemnify and hold STACK’S harmless for any sales or other taxes due thereunder,
including reasonable attorneys fees, costs and any interest or penalties assessed. Buyer shall also pay all shipping and
handling charges where applicable.
3. Purchasers claiming exemption from such taxes must submit resale or exemption certificates or other proof of exemp-
tion. Out-of-state Purchasers taking delivery in New York must provide an OSR certificate or pay applicable taxes
due. All purchasers represents that they are not seeking to acquire goods for personal, family, or household purposes,

knowledgeable and fully aware of what they are purchasing, a representation upon which Stack’s relies in agreeing to
sell to Purchaser. Buyers picking up lots may be required to confirm this agreement in a separate writing.
4. STACK’S is not responsible for your errors in bidding. PLEASE BID ON THE CORRECT LOT.
5. All persons seeking to bid, whether in person, by an agent or employee, or by mail, must have a catalogue and register
to bid. By submitting a bid, whether in person, by mail, or through an employee or agent, the bidder acknowledges
receipt of the catalogue, and agrees to adhere to these terms of sale. The auctioneer may decline to recognize any
bidder who does not have a catalogue and has not registered and been given a paddle number. Any prospective bidder
may be required to establish credit references or submit a deposit of 25% of their bids. All new bidders should be
prepared to establish credit with the auctioneer prior to registering to bid.

consequences of bidding; all bidders also personally guarantee prompt payment in full, including without limitation,
BUYER’S FEE, taxes, surcharges, postage, handling charges, storage costs and insurance charges.

event they do by having an agent or employee bid in the sale) prior to allowing a bid to be placed or recognized.
8. STACK’S reserves the right to impose a late charge, based solely upon Purchaser’s failure to remit full and timely
payment, and which late charge is not related to any necessary storage of the material purchased. Said late charge is
calculated at a rate of 1^/2% per month (18% per annum), based on the purchase price if payment has not been made in
accordance with these Terms and Conditions of Sale. Purchases not collected within thirty (30) days of the date of sale
may, at the sole option of STACK’S, be resold for Purchaser’s account by STACK’S, with Purchaser liable for any

agrees to keep the lots fully insured until paid for. Risk of loss is on the Buyer.
11. The highest bidder as determined in the sole discretion of the auctioneer shall be the Buyer. If the auctioneer
determines that a dispute has arisen between two or more bidders, the lot may be immediately put up and sold again.
Bidders with whom the dispute previously arose shall be without further recourse for any damages whatsoever.
12. If you bid by mail, mail your bid sheet early. Mail bidders agree to and are subject to these terms of sale just as if
they were floor bidders.

to have been made in good faith. The auctioneer reserves the right to open the lot at a reasonable price determined
solely by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall also have sole discretion to set initial, and subsequent bidding incre-
ments, and to accept, or to decline to accept, challenges to those bidding increments. All bids not in whole dollar
amounts may be rounded downward by the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open bidding on any lot by placing a bid on
behalf of the Seller, a mail bidder, STACK’S, or another participant in the sale. The auctioneer may bid further on
behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or by placing
bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer may bid for his, or its, own account at any auction and may have
access to information concerning the lots, and items contained in them, that are not otherwise available to the public.
Estimates given are for the general guidance of the bidder and represent the opinion of the auctioneer as to the fair
market value of the numismatic item at the time of cataloguing, based on experience and comparable sale, if applica-
ble. The actual price realized may be higher, or lower than the estimate. If a lot is reserved, the reserve may not
exceed the maximum estimated price.
14. Auction sales are approval sales. In the event of non-payment by the Buyer, STACK’S reserves any and all rights

statement without need of Buyer’s signature, and to offset any sums due on any future consignment or purchase or
monies or goods in possession of STACK’S or its assigns.
15. All bidders are encouraged to carefully examine all lots prior to the sale. No lots will be shown at the sale. STACK’S
assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the material (or other) facts stated concerning the numismatic item,
except as specified herein. All floor buyers should acquaint themselves with the property sold since STACK’S will
assume that they have done so and requires that the Purchaser represent that they have. Bidders are deemed to have
satisfied themselves as to all of the matters set forth in the terms of sale.

that its date or mintmark has not been altered, and that the coin has not been repaired as those terms are used in the

any other law or regulation, all other warranties of authenticity of authorship, whether express or implied, are hereby
disclaimed.
17. Except as otherwise stated herein, all items offered in this catalogue are GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE and
correctly attributed as defined below.
18. (a) NO LOT may be returned for any reason whatsoever without the prior written consent by STACK’S, or, in any
event, if it has been removed from its original container. No lots purchased by those who have viewed the lots
may be returned, unless the limited warranty provided in these terms of sale permits it.
(b) Grading is a subjective description in the opinion of the cataloguer as to the state of preservation, method of
strike, and overall appearance of a particular coin or lot. The term "proof’ or "specimen” is used to describe a method
of manufacture, and is not a grade or condition or an attribution.
(c) STACK’S does not represent that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or
artificial; that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading
service; that a numismatic item has a particular provenance or pedigree; that a numismatic item is struck or not
struck, or produced or not produced in a particular manner or style.
(d) Adjectival descriptions and terminology (which can and does vary among experts and knowledgeable purchasers),
when utilized in the catalogue, are strictly the opinion of the cataloguer and shall not be deemed to be part of the
description; i.e. it is an opinion only and not a warranty of any kind.
(e) Grading descriptions in this catalogue are provided strictly for the convenience of those who bid by mail and who
are unable to personally view the coins, and represents the cataloguer’s opinion of its state of preservation. Those
attending the sale, and those bidders who actually view the lots should draw their own conclusions as to the state of
preservation or grade of the numismatic item.
(D STACK’S may utilize numerical or adjectival descriptions, and may include lots that have been graded by others.
Opinions offered with respect to numismatic properties offered for sale by STACK’S are made at the time that the
numismatic item is catalogued, and do not refer to any prior or spbsequent time.
(g) Where STACK’S sells a numismatic item graded and encapsulated by a grading service. Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that other grading services, STACK’S or knowledgeable purchasers might reach a different conclusion as to the
state of preservation of a particular item, and that STACK’S has presented the service’s description of the encapsulat-
ed item for accommodation only. Any such information provided by STACK’S is the opinion of the third party, without
recourse against STACK’S in any way whatsoever.
(h) Except as otherwise expressly stated in the Terms of Sale, STACK’S and its agents and employees make
no warranties or guaranties or representations, and expressly disclaim all warranties and guaranties and
representations, including, without limitation, a warranty of merchantability, in connection with any numis-
matic properties sold by STACK’S.
(i) All oral and written statements made by STACK’S, are statements of opinion only, and are not warranties or
representations of any kind, unless stated as a specific written warranty, and no employee or agent of STACK’S has
authority to vary or alter these Terms of Sale. Any alteration shall be effective only if in writing and signed by a
principal of the firm.
(j) If not so stated expressly, the grade, artisanship, provenance, or attribution is the firm’s opinion only on which no
third party, including the bidder, is entitled to rely
(k) STACK’S assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the material (or other) facts stated concerning the
numismatic item, except as specified herein.
19. Unless otherwise stated, STACK’S acts only as agent for a Consignor and makes no independent warranty of title.
STACK’S offers the following LIMITED WARRANTY to Buyers with respect to all numismatic items offered for sale.
STACK’S warrants to all Buyers that the Consignor or the Seller has warranted good title to property offered for sale.
Any such warranty is predicated on the Owner or prior owner making the same warranty to STACK’S, upon which the
firm relies. In the event that it is finally determined that the Purchaser has not acquired transferable title, STACK’S
shall reimburse the Purchaser (if full payment has already been made) in accordance with these Terms of Sale, and
Buyer agrees that this is full compensation for any loss whatsoever, whether actual or otherwise. Tender of the check
by STACK’S to Buyer at the address specified on the bid sheet or registration form shall end the obligation of
STACK’S to the Buyer, even if the check is not indorsed or cashed. STACK’S and the Consignor make no representa-
tions or warranty that the Purchaser acquires any reproduction rights or copyright in property purchased at the sale.
20. STACK’S further expressly disclaims all warranties relating to the grade, condition, identification of the periods or
date of coining or manufacture or methods of manufacture of property which is inaccurate, or may be proved inaccu-
rate, by means of scientific process or research which is not generally accepted for use until after the sale.
21. STACK’S reminds the Buyer that the grading or condition of rare coins may have a material effect on the value of the
items purchased; that others may differ with the grading opinions or interpretations of STACK’S; that such difference
of opinion (including whether the coin has been cleaned, or is or is not of a particular grade or quality) is not
grounds to return an item purchased; and that all sales of items viewed by a Purchaser in advance of a sale, even if
the sale is by mail, are final.
22. By purchasing in this sale. Buyer agrees that they shall have no recourse against the Consignor for any reason
whatsoever. In the event that a warranty is offered with respect to grade or state of preservation or condition, it shall
be a specific warranty, in writing, signed by a principal of STACK’S, and shall specify its terms and conditions and
duration. If any numismatic item is damaged in its removal from encapsulation, or during its encapsulation, it is at
the sole risk of the Purchaser. Because of the fungibility of numismatic items, any item removed from its holder may
not be returned for any reason whatsoever.
23. (a) On any claim made by a bidder, STACK’S must be advised in writing sent within seven days after receipt of
the material, or the date of the sale, whichever is the later; these dates apply whether or not the Buyer has received
the material. The disputed property must be returned to STACK’S in the same condition as sold by STACK’S, in
the same holder.
(b) These conditions are binding and absolute unless varied in writing by a principal of STACK’S or if the bylaws,
rules or regulations of the Professional Numismatists Guild, Inc., provide for a longer period, or give the Buyer a
greater right, in which case such bylaws, rules or regulations shall prevail. Any and all claims of the Buyer made in
violation of the Terms of Sale shall be deemed waived, and the Buyer shall be without further recourse.
24. If STACK’S, in its sole discretion, determines that any numismatic property is substantially and materially different
from that represented in the catalogue of sale, or in any written advertisement or material, the sale shall be cancelled
and STACK’S shall refund the purchase price to the Buyer. Unless provided otherwise in these terms or the PNG
bylaws, that shall be STACK’S sole obligation to Buyer.
25. The auctioneer and cataloguer, STACK’S, reserves the right to include its own material in any auction sale. The
auctioneer may have direct or indirect interests in these, and other items (other than its commission), and may collect
a minimum price in addition to the selling commission. This paragraph shall be deemed a part of the description of all
lots contained in the catalogue. The catalogue shall also be deemed a part of any invoice issued by the auctioneer. The
auctioneer may make loans or advances to consignors and/or prospective purchasers. The Consignor may be permitted
to bid on his, her or their own articles and to buy them back at the sale. Any Buyer who bids on or purchases their
own goods is required to pay for them, in full, as the terms of sale provide for together with the full buyer’s commis-
sion, and any other applicable surcharges, postage, handling, insurance fees and taxes, without rebate of any kind
whatsoever. Settlement will thereafter be made.
26. STACK’S, the auctioneer, and employees are "insiders” and may have access to confidential information not otherwise
available to the public with respect to value, provenance, availability, and other factors. Purchasers should make
themselves acquainted with the numismatic items that they are purchasing and avail themselves of the services of
outside consultants prior to engaging in any purchase. Bids are so much per LOT. No lots will be broken up unless
otherwise stated.
27. No bidder shall have any claim against the auctioneer, or STACK’S, for improper sequence of offering a lot.
28. On bullion items, bullion-like items, and encapsulated items graded by a grading service. Buyer agrees that there
shall be no right of return for any reason whatsoever. Buyer further agrees that due to market volatility, in event of
non-payment, STACK’S shall be entitled to damages that are the greater of selling price or market, together with any
supplementary or additional costs.
29. STACK’S at any time may rescind the sale in the event of non-payment or breach of the warranty of title.
30. The sole remedy that any participant in the auction shall have, whether bidding in person, by mail, or through an
employee or agent, for any claim or controversy arising out of the auction shall be a refund of the original purchase
price and premium paid, if any. Interest shall be paid by STACK’S at a rate of no greater than nine per cent (9%) per
annum, up to a maximum of six (6) years, unless the rules of the Professional Numismatists Guild, Inc. provide for a
higher rate of interest or a longer period of time, in which case such rules shall prevail. A lower rate, or shorter
period, may be decided by the arbitrators. Upon payment as determined by the arbitrators, or in full at the maximum
rates set forth above, or at an agreed rate, STACK’S shall be deemed released from any and all claims of the bidder
arising out of or in connection with the sale of such property. Purchaser agrees to execute prior to delivery of any
refund any documents reasonably requested to effect the intent of this paragraph. By bidding in this sale, all bidders
consent to these terms and all other terms of these conditions of sale.
31. STACK’S hereby disclaims all liability for damages, incidental, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or
in connection with the sale of any property by STACK’S to Purchaser. All bidders, even if unsuccessful purchas-
ers, agree to abide by this condition, and all other conditions of sale.
32. All rights granted to the Purchaser under the within terms of sale are personal to the Purchaser. Purchaser may not
assign or transfer any of these rights to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Any
attempt so to assign or transfer any such rights shall be absolutely VOID and unenforceable. No third party may rely
on any benefit or right conferred by these Terms and Conditions of Sale and terms of warranty on any bidder or
Purchaser.
33. "Purchaser” shall mean the original purchaser of the property from STACK’S and not any subsequent owner or other
person who may have or acquire an interest therein. If Purchaser is an agent, the agency must be disclosed at the time
of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed
principal.
34. Should any third party attempt to utilize any warranties contained herein, they shall first give STACK’S thirty (30)
days written notice by Registered Mail or Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested during which time STACK’S may,
should it choose to contest the third party’s claim, ask the Professional Numismatists Guild, Inc., or the American
Arbitration Association to appoint a panel of three arbitrators skilled in the field to make such a determination at
New York, N.Y. By seeking to use such remedy, the third party unequivocally and without reservation consents to
binding arbitration, and its conclusive and binding determination of any alleged damages as a sole remedy. With
respect to any other pertinent notice requirements, venue and personal and subject matter jurisdiction, said third
party is bound to the provisions pertaining to bidders, buyers and purchasers, as otherwise provided for in these Terms
of Sale.
35. In the event STACK’S shall, for any reason, be unable to deliver the property sought to be purchased, its liability
therefore .shall be limited to the rescission of the sale and refund of the purchase price and buyer’s premium. STACK’S
hereby disclaims all liability for damages, incidental, consequential or otherwise, arising out of its failure to
deliver any property purchased, and ail bidders agree to this disclaimer.
36. If it is determined that a bailment relationship exists while the material purchased is being held by STACK’S, for
Purcha.ser, said relationship con.stitutes a gratuitous bailment only, solely for the benefit of the purchaser/bailor, as
defined by the laws of the State of New York.

listed on the bid sheet or application or form required at the time that a bidder number is issued, or by facsimile
transmission with proof of receipt. Bidder agrees that such service shall constitute full in personam jurisdiction. The
venue for such proceedings shall be the City of New York, State of New York and each bidder agrees to in personam

STACK’S GRADING POLICY
For Mint State or Uncirculated coins
Stack’s believes that adjectival grading is the best way to describe a coin. However, as numerical grading
has become part of the grading vocabulary. Stack’s wishes to define the adjectival and numerical grading as
Stack’s interprets it in this catalogue. Others may differ from this interpretation. See our Terms of Sale above
for a full explanation.
Comparative Grading Language
Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-60 and means that it is probable that the coin has not entered
general circulation; the coin may have heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines and have original luster (or
be impaired). It is the lowest state of preservation of uncirculated coins. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated is at
least MS-63, which means that it has more attractive eye appeal than an MS-60, may have original or slightly
impaired luster, may have a few scattered hairlines or even a small patch of hairlines; and may have some
distracting contact marks in the field or design. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-65 and has very
pleasing eye appeal (more so than an MS-63) and full lustre. It may have a few scattered hairlines and may
also have a minimal number of contact marks. Scuff marks may show. STACK’S does not represent that a
numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin catalogued
will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service. It should be under-
stood by all that grading is a subjective art and that others may differ from these interpretations.

The James A. Stack, Sr. Collection of
United States Paper Money
The James A. Stack, Sr. Collection of United States Paper Money is one of
those all too rare collections that a true numismatist loves to see. It is a collection
formed a generation or more ago, when numismatics was more than money and
quick profit, when beauty and attractiveness were more important than a technical
numerical grade. In such times there was little pressure to "upgrade” from a nice
looking choice note to a gem, or to "help” the appearance of a note. Consequently,
the collection assembled by Mr. Stack contains many of the finest looking, original
notes to be seen at one time in this cataloguer’s experience. They generally have
full original embossing where they should, they are bright, few with any aging, the
signatures on the Nationals Bank Notes are uniformly strong, and the colors are
vivid throughout.
While the primary accent was on acquiring type notes, there are nevertheless
numerous additional varieties, many of them extremely rare or of unusually high
grade. A brief summary will serve to convince even the most jaded among us of the
importance of this magnificent collection.
The Demand Notes are highlighted by an Extremely Fine $20.00 note, one of
the top three of the 19 known to exist for all districts combined. The Legal Tender
Notes are led by six different $100.00 notes, including a Choice Uncirculated
Fr.l72. The Silver Certificates include numerous high grade notes, including an
Extremely Fine $50.00 of 1880.
Perhaps one of the most interesting areas will be the Federal Reserve Notes,
which include no less than six $100.00 Red Seal notes, two of them Unique, and at
least one other finest known. The Gold Certificates include lovely Extremely Fine
examples of both the $50.00 and $100.00 1882 notes with the large red seal — the
first time either has been available publicly in over 40 years!
The National Bank Notes have rarities almost too plentiful to mention. The
reader’s interest will no doubt be aroused by such pearls as a First Charter $50.00
from California (in Extremely Fine!), a First Charter $10.00 from Delaware, Serial
Number 1 notes from Illinois, Michigan, New York and Missouri, a $50.00 Red Seal
from Tennessee, a First Charter $100.00 from Maryland, and $50.00 and $100.00
1882 Date Backs from Washington State.
The Small Size notes are also impressive, with Uncirculated examples of the
1928-E $1.00 and the 1933 $10.00. Also included are three of Grinnell’s Number 1
notes from Atlanta, 1928 and 1929.
While on the subject of Grinnell, there can be no more impressive pedigree to
a paper money collector than a note from the Albert A. Grinnell Collection. A
collection so extensive that it took New York dealer Barney Bluestone seven sales
from November 1944 to November 1946 to sell all the notes. A large percentage of
the James A. Stack, Sr. collection comes directly from the Grinnell sales, and have
been off the market and unavailable for over 40 years.
We are justly proud to have the opportunity to offer these beautiful notes to
an entirely new generation of collectors.

Estate of James A, Stack, Sr,
UNITED STATES PAPER MONEY
DEMAND NOTES
While various Treasury issues from the 1812 period through 1857 did circulate to some
extent, the Demand Notes of 1861-1862 represent the first real Federal effort to establish a
circulating paper currency. Considering the political climate of the period and the public’s
distrust of paper money due to the many “broken bank” issues, it is not surprising that the
Demand Notes were unpopular. Secretary of the Treasury Chase and other officials made a
public display of accepting their salaries in the new currency, but the issue was still quickly
redeemed for coin. Within four years, nearly the entire issue had been redeemed, and the
few that remained outstanding deteriorated rapidly due to the fragile nature of the paper
used. Finding a high grade Demand Note today is a challenge (only one Uncirculated
example exists), and the $20.00 denomination is very rare in any condition.
1561 $5.00. Fr.l. 1861. New York. Very Fine or better, with a few pinholes and light signatures. The bottom
margin is trimmed in at the right. Still above average for the issue. No. 43332, series 15.
1562 $10.00. Fr.7. 1861. Philadelphia. Fine to Very Fine, with good signatures and just one pinhole. The
margins are quite tight, but it is still a reasonably attractive example of this rare type. No. 85380,
series 4.

DEMAND NOTES & LEGAL TENDER NOTES
EXTREMELY RARE HIGH GRADE $20.00 DEMAND NOTE
Lot No. 1563
1563 $20.00. Fr.ll. 1861. New York. Extremely Fine, with good margins and bright color. There are no
counting smudges or edge splits and just a couple of thin short (14') internal slits. The appearance
is well above average for any denomination Demand Note, and truly extraordinary for a $20.00.
Of the nineteen $20.00 Demand Notes known to us for all districts combined, we know of only two
in comparable condition. Without question a note that would add immensely to even the finest
t5q3e set. No. 44018, series 3.
Probably from the Grinnell Collection, lot 3 (Extremely Fine, at $360.00), though there is one other New York $20.00 in similar
condition, with the same signatures, and the Grinnell catalog did not specify the serial number.
LEGAL TENDER NOTES
The Legal Tender Notes, authorized by Congress in February 1862, were not nearly as
quickly redeemed as the Demand Notes. By statute, duties to the U.S. were payable only
in coin or in the old Demand Notes, limiting the usefulness of the Legal Tender Notes. In
addition, the initial issuance was much larger, with numerous subsequent large emissions.
They did not become redeemable in coin until seventeen years after they were first issued.

Of the ones we have seen, only the ANS example surpasses it (by a half grade or so), though the Grinnell {lot 157)
example was graded "About Uncirculated." As this note looks a grade heller than it really is, and Mr. Stack purchased
heavily at the Grinnell sales, this may in fact be the Grinnell piece. In any event, it is a rare opportunity for modern

COMPOUND INTEREST TREASURY NOTE & INTEREST BEARING NOTE
COMPOUND INTEREST TREASURY NOTE
Compound Interest Treasury Notes were issued late in the Civil War as a means of
temporarily raising funds for the nnancially burdened Federal Government. Few people at
the time could afford a $1,000.00 Bond (or higher), but far more could afford to put away a
$10.00 or $20.00 note, particularly if it bore interest like a bond and had the interest
specifically spelled out on the back. The notes bore interest for up to three years, after which
interest ceased. Once interest accrual ceased, there was little reason to hold them, and they
were quickly redeemed, making them quite rare today.
Lot No. 1647
1647 $20.00. Fr.lOla. 1864. Extremely Fine overall, but with a V2 split at the top and a few shorter ones.
The bronze is fairly bright and the margins are good. All things considered, this is certainly one
of the most attractive notes of this design that we have handled. No. 52088.
INTEREST BEARING NOTE
Like the Compound Interest Notes above, these notes bore interest for periods from six
months to three years; various issues had different interest rates. They were also quickly
redeemed once they ceased bearing interest, but they served their purpose well, alleviating
the Financial emergency brought on by the war effort.
1648 $10.00. Fr.l96a. 1864. No. 30537, issued 3/16/64. Basically Very Fine to Extremely Fine, with the
crispness and overall appearance of Extremely Fine or better. There is a 'A' mended tear at the
top, and a shorter one at the bottom, neither obvious on the face. Still well above average for this
scarce and often low-grade issue.

Coupled with the TreasurylCoiu Note issues of 1890-1891, they provided the means for one
of the greatest private raids on the 'Treasury in history. Up until 1968 they were redeemable
in silver on demand, and most collectors today can remember the scenes of thousands of
people lining up to redeem them for Silver Dollars, and later for silver granules.

ItARE HIGH DENOMINATION SILVER CERTIFICATE
Lot No. 1709
1709 $100.00. Fr.342. 1880. Very Fine, with several small pinholes. Some dirt and soiling show in the center
of the back, but the face is clean and very appealing. No.A120098.
The printage figure for Fr.342 is but a fraction of the notes around it, as the survival rate shows: less than a dozen
have been recorded to date, only three of which have been offered in recent years.
TREASURY / COIN NOTES
The Treasury / Coin Notes were issued under the Legal Tender Act of July 14, 1890
specifically to be used by the Treasury Department to pay for the large amounts of silver
bullion Congress was forcing it to buy on the open market. It was left up to the Treasury
whether to redeem them in gold or silver, but bowing to political pressure by the silver
lobby, they were redeemed in gold. The silver interests were thus able to convert their large
silver finds almost directly into gold at a favorable rate, dangerously depleting government
gold reserves and precipitating the panic of 1893.

Lot No. 1714
1714 $1.00. Fr.352. 1891. Autographed by Ellis H. Roberts. Basically Choice Uncirculated, though there is
a horizontal fold in the top margin; obviously the sheet was folded before it was cut as the fold is too
close to the edge to have occurred after trimming. Choice in all other respects. No.B49196019.
Autographs of Roberts are far scarcer than those of Morgan or other officials. We known of only one other

RARE $50.00 SEWARD NOTE
Lot No. 1725
1725 $50.00. Fr.376. 1891. Very Fine, but peppered with small pinholes and trimmed to within a fraction
of a millimeter across the top. There are a few black ink spots in the counter at the left. Despite
its shortcomings, it remains a reasonably attractive example of this rare type. No.B12916.
The $50.00 TreasurylCoin Note depicting William Seward is one of the classic rarities in the U.S. Paper
Money field. The $50.00 denomination was issued only in the 1891 series, and with only one signature
combination . Only 23 remain outstanding on the Treasury’s books, of which 16 are now known.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK NOTES
With the establishment of the Federal Reserve System came the issues of Federal Reserve
Bank Notes and Federal Reserve Notes. The Federal Reserve Bank Notes were issued in
denominations from $1.00 to $50.00, though plates were also engraved for the $100.00
denomination. Since the redemption rate was quite high and the outstanding notes are
spread among a large number of district and signature varieties, many are quite scarce,
particularly the higher denominations.

While the Federal Reserve Notes as a whole are the most common of our old Large Size

RARE $100.00 RED SEAL NOTES
The $100.00 Red Seal notes of 1914 are one of the few remaining “sleeper” types in our

districts and varieties combined, only about a hundred notes have been traced. Two of the
notes offered below are believed to be unique (from the Grinnell Collection), and most others

1773 $100.00. Fr. 1080b. Minneapolis. Very Fine, with some pinholes at the left. Minneapolis is the rarest
district for $100.00 Red Seals, with only two notes known - a unique Type 1 in Fine and this
unique type 2, slightly better. No.I17410A.
This note is almost certainly lot 4469 of the Grinnell Collection, though the catalog did not specify the serial number at the
time.
FINEST KNOWN KANSAS CITY $100.00 TYPE 1 RED SEAL
Lot No. 1774
1774 $100.00. Fr. 1081a. Kansas City. Choice Uncirculated, crisp and bright. The right margin shows a little
bit of dirt, but it is not distracting. One of a half dozen Kansas City $100.00 Red Seals known, evenly
split between Type 1 and Type 2. Of the three Type 1 notes, this is the finest known by three grades.
NO.J3099A.

GOLD CERTIFICATES
GOLD CERTIFICATES
Only four of the nine issues of Gold Certificates generally circulated, the others having
been issued either in very limited quantities (and virtually unknown today) or for use
strictly within government channels. Of the varieties that did circulate, many are extremely
rare or unknown today. The $50.00 and $100.00 with the large red seal offered below are
e.xamples of varieties that are so rare that few living collectors have ever seen one, and no
one has had the opportunity to purchase one for over forty years!
Lot No. 1790
1790 $10.00. Fr.1170. 1907. Autographed by Carmi Thompson above his engraved signature. Low number
D3. Choice Uncirculated but for a broad light corner fold at the upper left.
All Napier -Thompson notes are scarce due to the short time they were in office together. While Thompson
autographed a number of notes, the Gold Certificates seem to be far scarcer than the Legal Tender Notes or Silver
Certificates.
1791 $10.00. Fr.ll71. 1907. Choice About Uncirculated, with a few moderate size pinholes; Fr.ll73. 1922. Large
Serial Number. Choice Uncirculated but very tight at the top; $20.00. Fr.ll87. 1922. Choice Extremely
Fine. 3 pieces.
Lot No. 1792
1792 $20.00. Fr.ll75a. 1882. Countersigned by Thomas Acton. Very Good, with slightly rough edges and
some scattered pinholes. The early countersigned Gold Certificates are quite scarce and seldom
available. Few are known in high grade, most being fairly well worn. No.A205111.

CHOICE TECHNICOLOR NOTE
Lot No. 1 794
1794 $20.00. Fr.ll80. 1905. Choice Uncirculated, very close to gem. A beautiful bright note close indeed
to the gem category. The so-called "Technicolor” $20.00 is one of the most attractive, colorful
notes we have issued, and is very difficult to locate in high grade. No.A1413935.

FINER OF TWO KNOWN LARGE RED SEAL $50.00 GOLD NOTES
Lot No. 1799
1799 $50.00. Fr.ll91. 1882. A solid Extremely Fine. Well centered, bright, clean and crisp, with a dozen
or so pinholes, mostly in the portrait. The pinholes are rather small and non-obtrusive. The large
red spiked seal is extremely rare, as it was used only on one signature combination (Rosecrans
and Hyatt), and had a total printage of only 40,000 notes. This note may actually be considered
unique in collectors hands, as the only other example known (a full grade lower in condition) is
permanently impounded in the National Collection in the Smithsonian. This is the first time this
variety has been available to collectors for over forty years. No.C24630.

a couple of tiny pinholes and a tiny (1mm) corner nick. This is the finest known of only three traced
to date, and the only one sold publicly in over ten years. No.A2867.
This note is from the Albert A. Grinnell Collection, lot 550, where it brought a then hefty price of $175.00 for a
circulated note. The only other two we have traced are number A34739 (Fine to Very Fine) from a 1978 Dean Oakes
Fixed Price List, and number A51784 (Fine) from a 1979 Kagin Fixed Price List. Neither of these have reappeared
since.

EXTREMELY RARE LARGE RED SEAL $100.00
Lot No. 1804
1804 $100.00. Fr.l204. 1882. Choice Extremely Fine, with just one tiny pinhole. A lovely clean, bright and
very crisp note that will fit in well with even the highest grade collection. Like the $50.00 note
above, the large red seal was used on only the Rosecrans-Hyatt signature combination, and had
a total printage of just 40,000 notes. This note is presently unique in collectors hands, and has
not been available publicly or privately for over 40 years. No.C28697.
Ex Albert A. Grinnell Collection, lot 551 at $200.00, the highest price of any of his $100.00 Gold Certificates.
While it is not technically About Uncirculated as catalogued by Bluestone, it certainly does look About
U ncirculated or better at first glance. One of only three known, one of which ( SN C6389, more than a grade lower
than the present example, with rough edges) is permanently impounded in the National Collection in the
Smithsonian. The third (SN C38240, condition unknown) has been tied up for years and will probably remain
so for the foreseeable future.
EXTREMELY RARE $100.00 FR.1205
Lot No. 1805
1805 $100.00. Fr.l205. 1882. Very Fine, with a few small pinholes. Quite attractive for the grade, with good
margins and bright color. To date only four examples have been traced, including one in the
Smithsonian and two others in currently active prominent collections. We know of no public offering
in the last four decades in any condition, and only one has traded privately in that time. No.C90018.

Lot No. 1817 (Front)
Lot No. 1817 (Back)
1817 — Ch.l741. FNB OF SAN FRANCISCO. $50.00. Fr.448. 1875. Very Fine to Extremely Fine, with
a few small pinholes. Trimmed in across most of the top, with a small "84” penned below the seal.
Clean, with bold color and good signatures. To date less than 100 first charter $50.00 notes have
been accounted for from all states combined, making this one of the most difficult type notes to
obtain. Even if it weren’t from such a rare state, it would be lovely type note.
While the rarity of $50.00 National Gold Bank Notes is well known (only six have been reported), it is less well
known that only TWC) regular first charter $50.00 notes are known from California. We believe this example was
lot 1178 in the Grinnell sale, but since both known examples are from the same bank and in about the same
condition we cannot be certain. However, it is highly likely, since Mr. Stack obtained so many notes from the
Grinnell sales.
1818 CONNECTICUT. Ch.361. NATIONAL EXCHANGE BANK OF HARTFORD. $1.00. Fr.384. 1875.

1856 — Ch.2371, NORTH NB OF ROCKLAND. $10.00. Fr.418. 1875. Extremely Fine, with a few tiny pinholes.
Tight on three sides, particularly at the left, but bright and crisp, with decent signatures. Still quite
attractive.
1857 MARYLAND. Ch.l336. MERCHANTS NB OF BALTIMORE. $10.00. Fr.481. 1882 BB. Choice Extremely
Fine, with decent margins and color. The president’s signature is light, the cashier’s signature lighter
still. Scarcer in our opinion than its Rarity-3 rating would indicate, as we can find relatively few records
of sale.

Lot No. 1859
1859 — Ch,4218. NATIONAL HOWARD BANK OF BALTIMORE. $100.00. Pr.524. 1882 BB. Choice Extremely
Fine, with superb margins, color and signatures. A stunning, vivid note with a few light vertical folds,
but not a single fault or problem. Its Rarity-6 rating is no doubt well merited, as we can find no records
of sale since the Grinnell specimen sold over forty years ago. Considering the rarity of the bank and
the fact that Mr. Stack acquired so many notes from the Grinnell sales, this may in fact be the Grinnell
note (lot 1255), described there as Uncirculated. Bluestone’s description of that specimen as "A note that
anyone would be proud to own” certainly fits this example to a tee!

R-4, yet the outstanding large size balance is a meager $1,440, and we can find only one record of public
sale in the last fifteen years.
SCARCE ST. JOHNS, MICHIGAN NOTES
The Grinnell sales had a number of notes from the St. Johns National Bank, but in the
forty years since then we can Htid only one record of public sale. This is yet another instance
where the low rarity rating can mislead one as to the actual availability of the bank, usually
due (as in this case) to a number of notes being locked in one collection for many years.
1875 — Ch.3378. ST. JOHNS NB. $10.00. Fr.482. 1882 BB. Choice Extremely Fine, due to a few very light
vertical folds (no sharp creases). Excellent margins, color, and signatures make for a particularly
attractive note. Scarce.

Extremely Fine. Bright and crisp, with good margins, color, and signatures. Unfortunately, a bit
of the top left corner is gone, with hinges "replacing” the missing portion. Since the engraving is
complete and unaffected on both sides, a more skillful repair will no doubt leave the note looking
like new. $50.00 Red Seal notes are seldom encountered at all, finding one with Serial Number
1 and as pretty as this is indeed a rare treat.

note with the rare second title of the bank. This is the somewhat more common first title. We say
"common” a bit tongue in cheek, as the two titles together have had only a few sales in recent decades,

RECORD-BREAKING DECADE
AGAINi!!
1980 through 1989 was another record-breaking decade
for Stack’s. And although we’re not blase about it in
anyway - we’re not surprised. For decades since our be-
ginnings in 1935 every decade has shattered the
record of the previous one.
IN THE LAST DECADE ALONE ...
• Stack’s has conducted 119 public sales.
• Stack’s has sold the lots of 2,544 consignors.
• Stack’s has sold a total of 241,358 lots.
No other numismatic organization offers the public auction expe-
rience - the success - the performance level of Stack’s.
If you’re thinking of selling at public auction
you MUST think of Stack’s
